There are two methods for changing the impedance of a port in the project editor. If you wish to change the impedance of a given port, and do not need to see the impedance values of other ports, take the following steps using the project editor:
- Select the desired port(s). This will enable the Object menu option.
- Select Object - Port Properties to open the Port Properties dialog box.
Note that if multiple ports are selected and differ in any of their properties, the control field for that property displays "Mixed" instead of a value. Any changes made are applied to all of the selected ports.
Double-clicking on a port opens the Port Properties dialog box.
- The impedance values can be changed by typing the desired values in the Resistance, Reactance, Inductance and Capacitance text boxes in the dialog box. This changes the parameters on all ports selected and all ports with the same number as the ports selected.
If you wish to change the impedance of a given port, and wish to see the impedance values of other ports while doing so, proceed as follows:
- Select Circuit - Settings from the main menu to open the Circuit Settings dialog box.
- Click on "Ports" in the sidebar menu to display the Ports page.
- The impedance values for any port can be changed by typing the desired values in the Resistance, Reactance, Inductance and Capacitance fields in the row labeled with the desired port number.
You may modify the impedance of multiple ports at once by editing the desired entries.
It is also possible to change the normalizing impedance of a port after an analysis in the response viewer or current density viewer.
